[Stingray70]

I have never liked the way the add on fuse holder looks. I have also heard they are prone to failure. Add to that the fact that no parts stores in my area even sell glass fuses, so I decided to relocate the fuse and switch to the modern style mini blade fuse.

I think this looks much better and hopefully is more reliable.

Materials:
12 awg mini fuse holder purchased online
20a mini fuse
8 inches of fabric wire loom
One heat shrink butt connector
One heat shrink ring terminal

Total cost about $8

Time: 30 minutes

First step was to disconnect the battery. Next I removed the starter mounted fuse holder, moving the yellow wire back to the correct terminal on the starter.

Next step was to open the terminal box, take the yellow wire off the post and connect it to one wire of the new fuse holder. The other wire from the fuse connects to the post in the box with a ring terminal. I slid a length of the fabric wire loom over the pigtail so the wiring looks less obvious inside the car.

Next I slid the fuse holder through the hole in the firewall and set it out of sight under the fuel tank.

Finally, I replaced the terminal box cover and reconnected the battery.

The engine compartment side looks original and the only thing one can see under the dash is a few inches of wire loom alongside the armored cable.

It is very easy to slide the holder out to inspect/replace the fuse if necessary.
